I'm sure the heart starter would do the job at 18v, not sure he would want to cart one around for when the inevitable happens. Pity the system on the Kuga seems to pull the voltage down so that a jump from a normal (12v) battery will not kick it into life. I think the AA man had to frig around to raise the voltage enough to get it to go. Happy days. FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory |

I had to call Land Rover Assistance once due to a non-start and they sent the AA out - turned out to be a flat battery because the bluetooth didn;t shut down correctly (see its not only Fords that have that problem!!!!) Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

Land Rover Assistance is the AA, just dressed up in Land Rover kit and vehicles. |

After last weekend I think the answer would be no, or certainly it would need to be another Land Rover. We were caravanning and when we arrived Thursday evening the site was pretty wet. On Saturday a Disco Td5 got stuck, mainly because the dif lock wouldn't engage. My Feelander got him out without any problem.

Tonyj couldn't agree more re your Freelander capabilities, as I have mentioned in another post on here,at the 4x4 extreme event I attended recently the only vehicles able to move on the pits\camping field where the triallers with obvious mud tyres fitted but I had no problems getting across field in my f2 with bfg,s fitted |

I have had two Subaru Foresters in the past a 97 turbo import which was great fun, no-one seemed to know what it was and with 240 BHP, the boy racers couldn't get close enough to find out, when I went to the motor factors, all the staff used to come out and have a shufty at it, second one was a n.a. 2008 and a bit more sedate, but both were brilliant go anywhere cars, both automatics by the way. The new shape Forester, post 2008, is available from Peugot, Citroen and Mitsubishi, the frogs used their own diesel, and Mitsubishi stuck a vw lump in theirs for a while. Have a look at the 4WD models produced by these manufacturers and spot the similarities to the Forester. I offer a small prize to the first person who can name them. I bought an E Class Merc Estate after the last Fozzie as I fancied a 6 cylinder diesel, it was great car, great drive and quite economical, but useless for towing a boat, even a small one, a sprinkling of gravel or a few pebbles on a slipway, and you were in big trouble with the tide coming in!.

I've now had my hairdressers Freelander aka Ford Kuga long enough to be able to compare the two.

Looking forward to my long awaited Jaguar F-Pace test drive on Thursday. It has huge appeal visually and in features; but will it drive as well as the reviews suggest? After the disappointment of my DS test drive I really hope so!
